David Long Jr. of Westville, NJ, CEO and founder of Food Press Wire and DLJ Productions, is not a man of his word. I know from first-hand experience that he does not pay all his business partners and associates when he says he will, nor does he always pay them the amount that he promises. One time he promised a new partner that they were going to make "so much money" if they joined his company; months later, that promise of "big money" never came true. He often comes up with convenient excuses as to why he cannot pay people money who are working hard to make HIS business more successful. He once told a partner, "I can't pay you because I don't have any money right now". Mr. Long's lack of money was never part of the business arrangement when he promised he would pay this partner for each day that he/she did work for his company.
He is also not fond of putting things in writing. In the past, when a former business partner tried to draw up a contract with him, he would not cooperate, and changed the subject on purpose. When the partner expressed dislike of his unprofessional demeanor, he told the partner that he/she should leave the place where they were meeting at the time to draw up the contract. He does not like to be held accountable of business dealings by putting things in writing; he only likes doing things under the table, and verbal agreements only; that way, it's your word against his when a dispute comes up regarding money, rights, and roles of individuals.
In the past, he has promised partners work opportunities, telling them that they are going to work a set amount of hours each week, then, to his convenience, going days and weeks at a time without providing work for partners, and making up excuses as to why he hasn't contacted them for weeks at a time. According to a clerk at the Gloucester County Courthouse in Woodbury, NJ, partners which Mr. Long has not paid money to, and who he has refused work opportunities to, even after promising them work, have the legal right to file a small claims suit against him for not holding up his end of the contract, whether written or verbal.
Mr. Long also has violent fits of rage when he doesn't get his way. He has boasted proudly of how he has destroyed others' lives in the past who have crossed him, how he likes to beat people up, curse people out, and other malicious ways of harming people. One of his business partners, Patricia Terrill, sat by one day as he mistreated and harassed an individual, and she did nothing about it. Her failure to reach out to the individual who was being bullied and victimized by Mr. Long, as well as the part she played in helping him turn against this individual unnecessarily, is due to her [Patricia's] jealousy between the partnership that Mr. Long had with this individual. Both David and Patricia have confirmed mental illnesses that they receive treatment for, but sadly, symptoms of their illnesses still cause harm and danger to others around them.
For anyone who wants to work with Food Press Wire and/or DLJ Publishing, and/or receive advertising and/or catering services from them, be advised: Mr. Long is NOT consistent in paying his colleagues, he likes to slander past business partners who challenge him on his unethical practices, and he does not like to draw up and/or sign contracts with partners or clients. Please consider working with another company whose associates are more mentally stable and honest.
